As its name suggests, the town's natural environment is characterized by the presence of the Tajo River. An ecological trail allows you to explore the area's key natural features.

Villamanrique de Tajo offers interesting examples of artistic heritage. The old village of Buenamesón showcases a complex of 17th-century buildings that once formed a recreational and agricultural estate. The most prominent elements are the palace, auxiliary houses, the main courtyard, and the oratory. Unfortunately, it's currently somewhat deteriorated.

The Castillo de Alboer castle played a crucial role during Muslim rule and the Reconquista as a defensive enclosure for surveillance and communication. Today, only ruins remain. The 18th-century Real Salina de Carcaballana saltworks were once very important, as salt was a valuable seasoning and preservative. Additionally, the saltwater spring was believed to have medicinal properties, so part of the facilities functioned as a spa.

Villar del Olmo stands out for its whitewashed houses, green areas, and charming natural corners. Ancient trails for livestock and structures like the Chozo de los Castaños speak to the town's long history of farming and ranching.

The surrounding valley defines Villar del Olmo's natural environment. The landscapes boast breathtaking beauty, changing colors with the seasons. A forest park with a large area of replanted pines adds to the town's natural charm.

Villar del Olmo offers a glimpse into its artistic heritage, with the Church of Nuestra Señora de La Antigua a prime example. This Romanesque-rural church dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, though additions were made in the 16th century and the chapel housing Our Lady of Solitude was annexed in the early 20th century. Inside, the 17th-century Baroque altarpiece on the main altar is a marvel.

Villar del Olmo boasts four fountains, each with its own character. The Fuente Mayor graces the Plaza Mayor, its waters sourced from a nearby spring. The 19th-century Fuente de San Isidro resides in the vega area, accompanied by a drinking trough and washbasin. Travelers can also find the Fuente del Quemado along the Camino de Pozuelo livestock trail, and the Fuente del Escurrizo nestled on another such trail, the Cañada de las Merinas.

Centro neurálgico de la Comarca de las Vegas por su privilegiada ubicación. Se distingue por su castillo, una fortaleza de la Orden de Santiago que forma parte de la Red de Castillos de la Comunidad de Madrid. 

La primera noticia que se tiene sobre el municipio es en el siglo XI. En concreto, se hace referencia a Salvanés y a la condonación del Valle de Salvanés que hizo Alfonso VI a la iglesia de Toledo. Aun así, se han encontrado restos arqueológicos que muestran la presencia humana en esas tierras desde mucho antes.
